"I see!"

Shen Qian suddenly realized that Xiao Wu and Xiao Qian were after the academic credits he had.

"There are 327 formal disciples of the academy, but many of them are not in the Tower of Babel all year round. They go out to travel and will only return at the end of the year."

Liu Changqing added, "After you finish your college entrance exam, if you have some free time, you can come and stay at the Tower of Babel for a while. You'll learn a lot of things then."

"Shall we go to Third Senior Brother's place?" Shen Qian nodded, glanced at the floor number Liu Changqing had pressed, and asked.

"That silver-dyed beast is now your spoils of war. Have you thought about what to do with it?" Liu Changqing asked.

"not yet."

This is also a question that Chen Qian is currently pondering.

The Silver-Dyed Beast was taken away by Song Ye first. Wild monsters like this need to go through a series of procedures to enter human towns, and they also need to be injected with more than a dozen kinds of sterilization and disinfection drugs. Only after going through this process can they become the legal private property of Shenqian.

If I were to raise it myself... well, forget it, I'll rule that out.

Because we can't afford to raise them.

Shen Qian checked on a forum about raising monsters at home and found that a single Silver Dyed Beast would cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month just for food, which would be enough to bankrupt Shen Qian.

Therefore, the best option is to sell.

The Silver-Dyed Beast is extremely beautiful, and its juvenile stage is even more popular, which is why Wang Shuo hunts it.

A young Silver Dyed Beast is worth over a million on the market.

But then another problem arose.

Since Shen Qian didn't have a hunter's badge, he couldn't sell directly on the monster market. If he went through an intermediary, the handling fee would be a huge expense. So, after listening to Song Ye explain the ins and outs, Shen Qian was very conflicted.

“If you’re looking to sell, your third senior brother should be able to help you with that,” Liu Changqing said with a smile.

That's wonderful.

Shen Qian then understood Liu Changqing's purpose in bringing him to see Shi Dingyan, and said sincerely with gratitude, "Sixth Senior Brother, if the Silver-Dyed Beast can be sold, let's split it in half."

"No need." Liu Changqing yawned lazily. "It's just a few dollars. Although I don't have much cash myself, hundreds of thousands are useless to me."

Shen Qian glanced at Liu Changqing's slightly worn robe with some suspicion, but wisely refrained from questioning him.

The elevator reached the seventeenth floor, and Liu Changqing and Shen Qian went all the way to the innermost balcony. Beside the small bridge and flowing water, Shi Dingyan was sitting in front of a wooden table, smiling at the two of them.

"Third Senior Brother!" Shen Qian called out respectfully, while Liu Changqing nodded as a greeting.

"Have a seat," Shi Dingyan said, gesturing for the two to sit down. He smiled and asked, "You have a Silver-Dyed Beast? How did you get it?"

They were eavesdropping on our conversation again...

Shen Qian muttered something to himself, but it was indeed more convenient this way. He then briefly recounted his encounter with Wang Shuo to Shi Dingyan.

"You actually managed to defeat Wang Shuo head-on?" Shi Dingyan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"He was injured and his strength was diminished. I was just using a trick," Shen Qian quickly said modestly, having probably seen the AFK log.

"When martial artists clash, why are there so many conditions? Victory is victory, and defeat is defeat. On a real battlefield, the enemy doesn't care whether you're injured or not."

Shi Dingyan waved his hand dismissively and said, "After you finish the formalities for your silver-dyed beast, just send it to me. I'll pay you 1.2 million yuan directly, based on the market price, so you won't have to pay taxes."

"Thank you so much, Third Senior Brother!" Shen Qian was taken aback for a moment before quickly expressing his gratitude. He was pleasantly surprised but also a little embarrassed. "I hope you're not putting me in a difficult position, Third Senior Brother?"

One million two hundred thousand is no small sum!

He thought Shi Dingyan was just helping him find a channel, but he didn't expect that Shi Dingyan would actually pay for it out of his own pocket.

"It's a small matter. I have a wide range of interests, and I'm also quite interested in juvenile silver-dyed beasts. It's a win-win situation."

Shi Dingyan smiled, took out his bracelet, tapped it a few times, and handed it to Chen Qian. "Open your bank app, tap 'Receive Payments,' and just tap my bracelet on it."

Shi Dingyan's straightforwardness left Shen Qian at a loss. After thinking for a moment, Shen Qian stopped being coy and took Shi Dingyan's bracelet, touching it against his own bracelet.

The bracelet started vibrating very quickly.

"Your bank card ending in 1024 has been credited with Chinese Yuan..."

Shen Qian was slightly excited as he was directly promoted to a distinguished member of the Million Club.

He was about to return the bracelet to Shi Dingyan when he glanced at the interface of Shi Dingyan's bracelet and froze instantly.

Just then, a text message from the bank popped up on Shi Dingyan's bracelet.

"Your bank card ending in 7888 has been debited via express transfer, leaving a balance of 0.09 yuan. Dear Mr. Shi, our bank..."

hiss!

The balance is close to 90 million!

Shen Qian had probably guessed that Shi Dingyan wouldn't be poor, but he hadn't expected it to be this outrageous.

Noticing the strange expression on Shen's face, Liu Changqing and Shi Dingyan were initially puzzled, but after looking at the text messages on their bracelets, they understood and couldn't help but smile at each other.

"What's wrong? You're already dumbfounded by such a small amount of money?" Liu Changqing laughed.

Shen Qian came to his senses and blushed a little. "I really have never seen so much money before."

"Heh, what's so special about that?"

Shi Dingyan shook his head with a sigh.

"The saying 'the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts' is not just a saying; the higher your level, the more money you need to spend."

Ninety million is a huge sum for ordinary people, but at our level, spending it all would be a matter of a moment.

Liu Changqing pulled out a hexagonal, egg-sized black crystal from somewhere and said to Chen Qian, "This is a space crystal I just bought last month. It can be used for storage. Guess how much it cost?"

Shen Qian shook his head.

"Sixty million!" Liu Changqing cursed. "That completely emptied my savings from the last two years. If the teacher hadn't forbidden it, I would have gone myself..."

“Changqing!” Shi Dingyan frowned.

Realizing he had misspoke, Liu Changqing took a deep breath and patted Chen Qian on the shoulder.

"Now you know why I said a few hundred thousand won't be enough, hehe. You think a million is a lot now, but once you advance to the level of a martial artist and start needing money, you'll know how fast it will go by!"

Shen Qian was indeed taken aback. He thought back to the elevator earlier when he had actually doubted whether Liu Changqing was as poor and destitute as he was, and he immediately blushed with embarrassment.

I never expected this...

The clown was myself.
